What and where do i get movies to use all this?
The UHD discs they put on the market are so limited in quality that i don't see
the point going to spend over 2000.
I don't think there are many if any releases that can supply this processor w enough channels, bits and data to make a difference.
Isn’t that the point of Atmos and dts:x? They are not limited to channels, so in theory you could have 32 channels and the processor would distribute to the relevant channel correctly.
yes correct but as you said in theory, but i don't know any that do
Yeah with Atmos there should be no such thing as the left, right, center, surround, ect speakers. The whole point of Atmost is arbitrary speaker locations, you can have as many speakers as you want, and in any location and you tell the reviver where they are and it does all the magic for you.
If i scan a disc:
Audio #1

Format profile : TrueHD+Atmos / TrueHD

It has all it's data in this stream being 8 channels. So how will it change it to 16?
The objects are fixed to a channel in this stream.
Front: L C R, Side: L R, Back: L R, LFE is there more the receiver can do?
thanx for explainingIt doesn’t, it spreads the 8 channels over 16 channels making sure the additional speakers fill in any holes in the sound field for a more immersive sound.
Think of it like a 5.1 or 7.1 system, with most receivers you can add width and height speakers (9.1, 11.1) even though there are no dedicated channels on the disc, the receiver just uses the speakers to fill in the holes that are inherent in 5.1, 7.1 system, thus you get a more seamless immersive sound.

MPS2520P Studio Monitor - M&K Sound®Obviously I’m a lotto win away from ever affording this, but are there comparable standard active speakers that would connect directly to the Altitude16 via XLR?
LCR, surround, surround back, front wide, top front, top rear, LFE etc are still required speaker locations.Yeah with Atmos there should be no such thing as the left, right, center, surround, ect speakers. The whole point of Atmost is arbitrary speaker locations, you can have as many speakers as you want, and in any location and you tell the reviver where they are and it does all the magic for you.
The MP-50 is an absolute alternative to the Trinnov as are the Storm processors.I do not understand why the Lyngdorf MP50 is not being referenced as an alternative next to the Datasat option.
